As I ride the metro, I start thinking how lucky we are in our modern society to be able to move long distances at a fast pace underground without dealing with traffic.
This underground railway
system is so convenient for us city folks. Yet when I ride this amazing railway
machine I notice that people around me are not smiling. We all seem so unhappy
and depressed.
Every
now and then young adults are laughing and having fun but everybody looks at
them like they came from another planet. A bunch of kids came in the metro the
other day, I was ecstatic it brought liveliness and so much joy. I looked
around most people seemed uncomfortable and looked away.
I
ponder…Why is it that every time I take the underground tube people seem so
miserable?
It
is because people have seasonal blues? Claustrophobia? Stress to get to work on
time? Does being underground in a dark tunnel automatically make you feel down?
Or is it that most humans are unhappy?
Have I just noticed it more in the subway since it gathers a flock of people together by no choice of their own because they need to go to their destination? Am I now more in tune with my feelings and sense how people feel around me almost immediately?
